![]() To increase success, plan an approach that minimizes workflow disruptions of critical processes while ensuring sufficient capacity to support expected workloads and providing enough scalability to handle unexpected workloads. ![]() Still, cloud decisions have forced IT leaders to relinquish a level of control over the physical infrastructure, significantly increasing risk. Longtime legacy challenges of architecting for the peak versus the average persist. Perhaps the data primarily resides in a private or hybrid cloud to engage in cloud bursting on the public cloud when capacity needs to balloon. Sometimes, particular features, functionality and capabilities are lacking. Performance is instrumental in determining where a mission-critical application should live and drives myriad scaling considerations and challenges. But, often, the required type and volume of cloud resources are not available and deployment is difficult or impossible. As more data moves to the cloud and strategies expand to occasionally include multicloud environments, there’s an expectation that underlying cloud resources deliver about the same level of performance as on-prem. With increasing cloud investments comes a growing need for more accessible data mobility. But just as all data is not created equal, neither are clouds or migration strategies. Mission-critical initiatives often cross the length and breadth of organizations, across low-level operational groups up to the C-suite and beyond. Successful migration can further business opportunities, but the risk of failure is considerable, and the high visibility that accompanies these major initiatives increases the level of exposure and consequences of said failure. Although moving to the cloud is the way forward for many modern companies, migration can prove time-consuming and highly challenging, often with incomplete or unacceptable results.
